Difficult: This is a difficult problem. An annular tear is just a continuum of damage occuring to the disk. Remember that physicians have to treat the patient and not the MRI results alone. There are some procedures that treat the pain of an annular tear but it is difficult to diagnose that the tear is actually causing your pain.
